Bacterial polysaccharide synthesis and gene nomenclature

P R Reeves et al. Trends Microbiol. 1996 Dec.

Abstract

Gene nomenclature for bacterial surface polysaccharides is complicated by the large number of structures and genes. We propose a scheme applicable to all species that distinguishes different classes of genes, provides a single name for all genes of a given function and greatly facilitates comparative studies.
